best practices to include client libraries used at component level

How to include component level resources, while following the best practices.

 

Ex:

 

I am looking at the geometrixx media site in CQ 5.6. In the some of components, ex: 2-col-article-summary we have a client library defined under the component.

 

/apps/geometrixx-media/components/2-col-article-summary

-2-col-article-summary.jsp

-clientlibs

  -css

     …..

  -css.txt

 

if i look at the categories of the clientlib, it is defined as follows

 

categories String[] apps.geometrixx-media, apps.geometrixx-media.2-col-article-summary

 

The only place this client library is included is in the head.jsp of main page level component.

 

    <cq:includeClientLib categories="apps.geometrixx-media.all"/> - this in turn embeds the apps.geometrixx-media

 

 

my questions are as follows

 

1) Why do we have two categories for the clientlib, if ithe second category name( apps.geometrixx-media.2-col-article-summary) is not being used. Is there is some other usage for this i am missing.

2) Also these set of css is always included no matter whether a specific component is added to the page or not.

3)  I could use the following to include the client at the component level, but this will cause unnecessary <script> and <link> elements at the component level mark up.

 

   <cq:includeClientLib categories="apps.geometrixx-media.2-col-article-summary"/>

 

 

Essentially  i am trying to understand, how to include a specific component level resources while following the best practices
